Elektron Musical Instruments

Hello,

I'm a new MD owner, and love the machine.  i do have one simple question that I 
wasn't able to figure out on  my own.

I like to use reveres cymbals in my beats alot, and I was trying to find a way to do this 
on the MD.  I thought that I could set an LFO to modulate the filter cutoff on a Cymbal 
machine.  I set the update to trig, used a low speed and a moderate amount of depth, 
but i can't quite get the effect I'm looking for - you know a deep sweeping 'swoosh' 
kind of sound.  If anybody uses Reason here, in the reDrum drum samples I believe 
that there is a sample in the Dubfire samples included with the program that is 
exactly what i'm talking about.

   Sorry for the basic question but I racked my proverbial brain last night and coldn't 
come up with anything.

Cheers,

Stephan

You should get a convincing approx using noise and modulating both volume
and filter. The problem is that you are always going to miss the end because
a normal cymbal has a strong transient you won't be able to mimic. Maybe we
should ask elektron to be able to reverse playback of the sample machines :)

I got something similar to what you're talking about; it might not be
exactly what you're looking for, but a good starting place if nothing
else.

I used the E12 CC, default setting with the following exceptions:
DEC: 127
FLTF: 127
FLTW: (varied; but the lower settings sound better to me :-)
FLTQ: 127

LFO section:
PARAM: FTLF
SHP1: down ramp (5th waveform)
SHP2: up ramp (5th waveform)
UPDTE: TRIG
SPEED: 64
DEPTH: 127
SHMIX: 100

BTW, this LFO setup in general will help you simulate a slow attack
sound.

Hope that helps!
